Masha Lou Photography

We had such a wonderful experience with Masha Lou Photography! I was coordinating a photo shoot from Texas to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary during our first trip to New York, and Masha made the entire process so smooth. She was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with from the start—something I truly appreciated while planning everything from out of state. Since it was my first time in NYC, Masha provided fantastic recommendations for photo locations and shared helpful tips on what to wear so our outfits and colors would look great in the setting. On the day of the shoot, she was warm, friendly, and made both my wife and me feel completely at ease. Her direction was clear, and she offered great posing ideas. She staged our shots beautifully and found the most gorgeous angles and backgrounds throughout Central Park. We booked an hour session, and it felt like the perfect amount of time. Masha captured so many stunning images—it was hard to choose favorites! I had initially mentioned wanting both nature and skyline shots, and she thoughtfully led us to another location within the park that gave us exactly that. She even stayed a few extra minutes past our session (at no extra charge) just to make sure we got the shots we wanted. As we walked between locations, she kept the conversation going and made the whole experience feel more like hanging out with a new friend than just posing for photos. And to top it all off, Masha delivered our edited photos with an incredibly fast turnaround—we had our Friday morning shoot and received the full gallery by Saturday evening! We highly recommend Masha for her professionalism, artistic eye, and exceptional service. If we ever celebrate another special occasion in NYC, we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Absolutely blown away by our engagement photos! Yana exceeded every expectation — her eye for detail, use of natural light, and ability to capture candid moments made our session unforgettable. Shooting in New York City can be chaotic, but she made it feel effortless and intimate. Every photo feels like a memory frozen in time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more talented photographer!

I had a great experience working with Masha. She was very cooperative, flexible with scheduling, and generous with her time. What impressed me most was her ability to make me feel comfortable during the shoot. I’ve always had trouble with cameras and felt awkward being photographed, but she managed to capture photos where I actually look good. Her approach was professional, and she clearly knows how to work with lighting and composition. The final photos turned out well, and I appreciate how patient and accommodating she was throughout the process. I’d definitely recommend.

We were in New York for the first time and wanted to take some pictures before our wedding and we found Masha. From the first time we talked to her she was very professional and very interested in how we wanted the pictures to be, how we wanted to show and what to express with them. Throughout the session Masha was super professional, she always gave us advice and helped us with every detail. I can say that it was a very beautiful and fun session at the same time, especially because it was raining continuously, but that didn't stop us. We recommend Masha with all confidence if you want some very beautiful pictures taken by someone who gives their all ❤️.

Masha and her team were incredibly professional and approachable throughout the entire process. Masha was always available to answer questions both before and after the shoot, which made everything run smoothly. A special shout-out to photographer Yana—her creativity and knack for suggesting unique poses truly made my photography experience unforgettable. Kudos to the whole team for their hard work and dedication. I’ll definitely be recommending them for any photography needs!
